4.2.1 MediaStream

The MediaStream() constructor takes two arguments. The arguments are two lists with MediaStreamTrack objects which will be used to construct the audio and video track lists of the new MediaStream object. When the constructor is invoked, the UA must run the following steps:

1. Let audioTracks be the constructor's first argument.

2. Let videoTracks be the constructor's second argument.

3. Let stream be a newly constructed MediaStream object.

4. Set stream's label attribute to a newly generated value.

5. If audioTracks is not null, then run the following sub steps for each element track in audioTracks:

   1. If track is of any other kind than "audio", then throw a SyntaxError exception.

   2. If track has the same underlying source as another element in stream's audio track list, then abort these steps.

   3. Add track to stream's audio track list.

6. If videoTracks is not null, then run the following sub steps for each element track in videoTracks:

   1. If track is of any other kind than "video", then throw a SyntaxError exception.

   2. If track has the same underlying source as another element in stream's video track list, then abort these steps.

   3. Add track to stream's video track list.

A MediaStream can have multiple audio and video sources (e.g. because the user has multiple microphones, or because the real source of the stream is a media resource with many media tracks). The stream represented by a MediaStream thus has zero or more tracks.

The tracks of a MediaStream are stored in two arrays; one for audio tracks and one for video tracks. The two arrays must contain the MediaStreamTrack objects that correspond to the tracks of the stream. The relative order of all tracks in a user agent must be stable. Tracks that come from a media resource whose format defines an order must be in the order defined by the format; tracks that come from a media resource whose format does not define an order must be in the relative order in which the tracks are declared in that media resource. Within these constraints, the order is user-agent defined.

A MediaStream object is said to end when the user agent learns that no more data will ever be forthcoming for this stream.

When a MediaStream object ends for any reason (e.g. because the user rescinds the permission for the page to use the local camera, or because the data comes from a finite file and the file's end has been reached and the user has not requested that it be looped, or because the stream comes from a remote peer and the remote peer has permanently stopped sending data, it is said to be finished . When this happens for any reason other than the stop() method being invoked, the user agent must queue a task that runs the following steps:

1. If the object's readyState attribute has the value ENDED (2) already, then abort these steps. (The stop() method was probably called just before the stream stopped for other reasons, e.g. the user clicked an in-page stop button and then the user-agent-provided stop button.)

2. Set the object's readyState attribute to ENDED (2).

3. Fire a simple event named ended at the object.

As soon as a MediaStream object is finished, the stream's tracks start outputting only silence and/or blackness, as appropriate, as defined earlier.

If the end of the stream was reached due to a user request, the task source for this task is the user interaction task source. Otherwise the task source for this task is the networking task source.

5.1.2 Methods

addStream

Attempts to starting sending the given stream to the remote peer. The format for the MediaStreamHints objects is currently undefined by the specification.

When the other peer starts sending a stream in this manner, an addstream event is fired at the PeerConnection object.

When the addStream() method is invoked, the user agent must run the following steps:

1. Let stream be the method's first argument.

2. Let hints be the method's second argument.

3. If the PeerConnection object's PeerConnection readiness state is CLOSED (3), throw an INVALID_STATE_ERR exception.

4. If stream is already in the PeerConnection object's localStreams object, then abort these steps.

5. Add stream to the end of the PeerConnection object's localStreams object.

6. Return from the method.

7. Parse the hints provided by the application and apply them to the MediaStream, if possible.

8. Have the PeerConnection add a media stream for stream the next time the user agent provides a stable state. Any other pending stream additions and removals must be processed at the same time.

Parameter	Type	Nullable	Optional	Description
stream	MediaStream	✘	✘
hints	MediaStreamHints	✘	✘

No exceptions.

Return type: void

close

When the close() method is invoked, the user agent must run the following steps:

1. If the PeerConnection object's PeerConnection readiness state is CLOSED (3), throw an INVALID_STATE_ERR exception.

2. Destroy the PeerConnection ICE Agent, abruptly ending any active ICE processing and any active streaming, and releasing any relevant resources (e.g. TURN permissions).

3. Set the object's PeerConnection readiness state to CLOSED (3).

The localStreams and remoteStreams objects remain in the state they were in when the object was closed.

No parameters.

No exceptions.

Return type: void

processSignalingMessage

When a message is relayed from the remote peer over the signaling channel is received by the Web application, pass it to the user agent by calling the processSignalingMessage() method.

The order of messages is important. Passing messages to the user agent in a different order than they were generated by the remote peer's user agent can prevent a successful connection from being established or degrade the connection's quality if one is established.

When the processSignalingMessage() method is invoked, the user agent must run the following steps:

1. Let message be the method's argument.

2. Let connection be the PeerConnection object on which the method was invoked.

3. If connection's PeerConnection readiness state is CLOSED (3), throw an INVALID_STATE_ERR exception.

4. If the first four characters of message are not "SDP" followed by a U+000A LINE FEED (LF) character, then abort these steps. (This indicates an error in the signaling channel implementation. User agents may report such errors to their developer consoles to aid debugging.)

   Future extensions to the PeerConnection interface might use other prefix values to implement additional features.

5. Let sdp be the string consisting of all but the first four characters of message.

6. Pass the sdp to the PeerConnection SDP Agent as a subsequent offer or answer, to be interpreted as appropriate given the current state of the SDP Agent. [ICE]

When a PeerConnection ICE Agent forms a connection to the the far side and enters the state ICECONNECTED, the user agent must queue a task that sets the PeerConnection object's PeerConnection readiness state to ACTIVE (2) and then fires a simple event named open at the PeerConnection object.

Parameter	Type	Nullable	Optional	Description
message	DOMString	✘	✘

No exceptions.

Return type: void

removeStream

Stops sending the given stream to the remote peer.

When the other peer stops sending a stream in this manner, a removestream event is fired at the PeerConnection object.

When the removeStream() method is invoked, the user agent must run the following steps:

1. Let stream be the method's argument.

2. If the PeerConnection object's PeerConnection readiness state is CLOSED (3), throw an INVALID_STATE_ERR exception.

3. If stream is not in the PeerConnection object's localStreams object, then abort these steps.

4. Remove stream from the PeerConnection object's localStreams object.

5. Return from the method.

6. Have the PeerConnectionremove the media stream for stream the next time the user agent provides a stable state. Any other pending stream additions and removals must be processed at the same time.

stream	MediaStream	✘	✘

No exceptions.
